[quote][color=silver][b]◼   W E E K   0 0 1:[/b][/color] [I]The world of Crestwood shows Hyperhuamns as being possibly one of the most oppressed races in history, they're unable to hold positions of authority nor able to use their gifts without fear of punishment. How does this affect your character and their relationship with society both as a whole and within the confines of a highschool social heirarchy? How has discovering that they are a Hyperhuman changed their worldview?[/I][/quote]

Worldview is the problem for Esther. The primary issue isn’t the discovery itself, but the mode of discovery through her father’s constructed illusions and dream worlds. She has no recollection of when it began, just that it began at some point during memories that might be fabricated. Knowing which parts of her past that are real and not is a struggle that consumes plenty of energy, but eventually she will feel the cracks of this reality and its cruelties concerning those who are different. When it dawns on her that what she wants for her life might not be possible, Esther might feel a bit lost. The danger lies in the possibility of that disappointment radicalizing her in the same way it did her father, which means that he will have the last laugh.

Esther knows that she can hide her ability unlike others. She feels for those who bring upon the world destructive impulses that causes fearful reaction. However, Esther has a strange relationship with the laws of nature, things of the mind, and action and reaction—all of it is but mud ready to be shaped by someone. Her father once convinced her that she was a cat, but Esther did not realize until after he released her from that perception. The point is that she believes that anyone can be persuaded, and that some kind of agreement can be reached. She forgave her father, whereas nobody else ever did, but that doesn’t mean that what he did was moral.

However, Esther has issues with the fact that she and those like her are considered a separate ‘race’. She knows, through shared memories with her father, what her great grandfather meddled in during the devastating war that Europe suffered at that time, and their view on ‘race’. Esther is strictly against radicals that speak for or against Hyperhumans as being separate, superior, or inferior. She will not bear the Great shame that comes with her name and ethnic history.
